The NBA is doing its due diligence amid disturbing allegations surrounding Oklahoma City Thunder player Josh Giddey<\/strong> — the league just announced it is “looking into” claims he had an inappropriate relationship with a minor.<\/p>\n TMZ Sports<\/strong> has confirmed the Association is aware of the rumors that have spread on social media this week … with photos and videos alluding to Giddey being intimate with a high school girl.<\/p>\n Giddey was asked about the speculation at Thunder practice on Friday … and he remained tight-lipped.<\/p>\n “I understand the question, obviously, but no further comment right now,” Giddey said.<\/p>\n Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault<\/strong> was also asked about Giddey’s status after practice … and he declined to comment.<\/p>\n Giddey has seemingly taken himself out of the spotlight on social media following the allegations — he removed his profile photo and disabled comments on Instagram.<\/p>\n The 21-year-old Australian athlete was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft … averaging 14.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.1 assists on his career. He received NBA All-Rookie Team honors in 2022.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While the league is looking into the rumors, Giddey could also find himself the subject of a criminal investigation, too … if the girl was under 16 at the time of the alleged relationship, which is the age of consent in Oklahoma.<\/p>\n
